Central NE | I might be getting called a cuke, but does anyone believe we are watering down our post chems too much?
Case in point, after wheat harvest when a rain comes along in July and sprouts the the volunteer, the pigweed will have been cut off and continues to grow putting more shoots off of one stem. Too save time and get over a bunch of ground, I'll nozzle down to 3 gal to the acre. I find that ams and glyphosate gives a outstanding kill.
Granted, the weed still gets coverage without a crop being grown, but I think the non-watered down chem is helping. To be honest I think next year I'll be giving a small field a 5gal/acre at 42oz gly test plot, with a residual. Metolachlor calls for a minimum of 5gal. What do I gotta lose, seems like I'm post spraying twice now anyway.
Switched to liberty beans when glyphosate wouldn't kill marestail 10 years ago, now I haven't seen a marestail plant in 3 years, so I'm not too afraid of trying just gly again. | |
